Frederick Lothian, retired professor of engineering, world expert on concrete and hoarder of mid-century design has moved to a retirement village and is waiting to die. HIs wife as passed away and he no longer sees his two adult children. Surrounded by boxes of family memorabilia he can't bear to throw away and beautiful modernist chairs too big for his tiny flat, Fred finds he cannot escape from his memories. He is filled with regret for the things he did wrong, and for the he failed to do at all. When Fred's neighbour, Jan, asks for help, he is initially resistant. But Jan has a small grandson to take care of and has seen too much of the the world to let Fred act like a child. As their friendship unfolds, Fred begins to realise that this may be his last chance to make amends. After a lifetime of selfish decisions, can he build bridges back to the people he loves? -- Book Jacket 650 0 $a Death $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Death $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888613 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781782834618 941 $a 1 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014729.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D07408DAB9A111E9BAE4600C97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
